Additional information

These deniers were struck during the reign of Louis I of Hungary — later called "the Great" — at a moment when Buda was consolidating its role as the kingdom's primary mint. The date range corresponds precisely to the years Louis was occupied with his first Neapolitan campaign, waging war against the Angevins of Naples to avenge the murder of his brother Andrew in 1345. Royal attention was elsewhere, but the Buda mint continued producing small silver in volume to meet domestic demand.

The ÉH#9 attribution places this among the earliest specifically Buda-assigned deniers in Éremleletünk's classification — a distinction that matters more to provenance than to circulation history.
